Tips:

Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is sustainably sourced. Fresh salmon is best, but frozen salmon can also be used. If using frozen salmon, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or under cold running water.
Chop the salmon finely. This will help the spread to have a smooth texture. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to chop the salmon.
Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the spread will taste. Use fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices.
Don't overmix the spread. Overmixing can make the spread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
Chill the spread before serving. This will help the spread to firm up and make it easier to spread.
Serve the spread with crackers, bread, or vegetables. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or as a topping for baked potatoes.

Conclusion:

Cold salmon spread is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick and easy meal. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, cold salmon spread is a dish that everyone will love.
